Exegesis
The Hifil imperfect wayyaggîḏū {וַיַּגִּדוּ | wayyaggîḏū} ‘and they reported’ introduces the communication action, with lōʾ {ל֔וֹ | lōʾ} marking the indirect object and dibrê rabb-šāqē {דִּבְרֵי רַב־שָׁקֵה | dibrê rabb-šāqē} ‘the words of Rabshakeh’ as the direct object. English reorders the Hebrew VSO into an SVO structure for readability while preserving the official titles and ritual imagery.
